For those of you that like the idea of the computer and soft synths etc, but baulk at the thought of having to set everything up, (Including the more items you need to transport to a gig) then don’t forget the Wersi instruments which essentially have all the above, but built into a normal Arranger Keyboard, which means you wont have to worry about all the setting up, and if your used to arranger keyboards, you will be able to play straight away.
For those that already have there set ups, then an arranger (Even if it does have the same capabilities) might not suit, but since I changed from Midi Controller, Computer and Software back in 2004, I haven’t looked back.
Just a thought.
